Absent: Commissioner Backous. <br />5.03: Discuss Use of Anoka Country HRA Fund Balance <br />HRA Executive Director Ulrich reviewed the staff report and answered questions of the HRA. <br />The HRA discussed whether Anoka County HRA funds could be used by the Ramsey HRA <br />towards property acquisition or development costs, possibly reducing the City's HRA levy. <br />HRA Executive Director Ulrich stated it is likely but the City would have to specifically identify <br />use of the money for housing purposes. <br />Development Manager Lazan stated the City has a number of projects for Anoka County HRA <br />funds, noting there are two housing projects under consideration including a senior project with <br />the burden of off -site improvements. <br />Several Commissioners indicated support to consider this option and possibly lower the Ramsey <br />HRA levy.
